NEWARK, Del. (Feb. 23, 2015) -- University of Delaware junior men's diving standout Patrick McCann is the National 5 & 10 Athlete of the Week for the period ending Feb. 23, 2015.

McCann, a history and education major from Annandale, Va. (Annandale High School), was the Blue Hens' most consistent diver at the Colonial Athletic Association Championships held Saturday at Sunday at UD's Rawstrom Natatorium.

McCann was the only Blue Hen diver to collect two top five finishes as he placed fifth in both the one-meter and three-meter event to lead Delaware.

For the first time, the CAA hosted its diving and swimming championships on separate weeks. This coming weekend the swimmers will head to the Richmond (Va.) Aquatic Club to compete in the championships.

McCann, who placed fifth in the three-meter and sixth in the one-meter at the 2014 championships, went one better this season on his home boards. He collected 252.45 points in the one-meter finals on Saturday, which was good for fifth place, and then posted a score of 318.60 points on Sunday on the three-meter board to also finish fifth overall.

Delaware had several other top performances at the championships as Kristina Congdon was second in the women's one-meter board competition and sixth on the three-meter and Caitlin Stockwell was third on the three-meter board and seventh on the one-meter.
